Most of you know Lew for his craft beer advocacy but did you know he’s quite the master of whiskey? He’ll be rolling into town this weekend to talk whiskey at events you know will be a tasty good time.

“Whiskey lovers will devour this fresh and comprehensive guide to everything there is to know about the world’s whiskeys, including Scotch and bourbon as well as Tennessee, Irish, Japanese, and Canadian whiskeys. You’ll learn about the types of whiskey and the distilling traditions of the regions where they are made, how to serve and taste whiskeys to best appreciate and savor them, how to collect and age whiskey for great results, and much more. There are even recipes for cocktails and suggestions for food pairings. This is the guide no whiskey drinker will want to be without!”

Don’t let the cold and traffic chaos get you down this weekend. Warm up at one of these events.
